What does Lazibara mean?

1, the seventh and eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, which is the coldest day of the year. Laba Festival falls on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, so the end of the year is called "La", which has three meanings: First, "La Zhe, Ye Jie", which means the alternation of the old and the new (it is recorded that Sui Shu sacrificed Laba porridge); The second is "wax hunters hunt together", which means that hunting in the wild can make animals sacrifice their ancestors and gods. "wax" comes from "meat", which means meat for "winter sacrifice"; Thirdly, it is said that "those who wax the wax will drive away the epidemic and welcome the spring", and Laba Festival is also called "Buddhist Daoism Festival" and "Daoism Society". In fact, it can be said that the eighth day of December is the origin of Laba Festival.

2. Since ancient times, Laba has been used to worship ancestors and gods (including door gods, household gods, house gods, kitchen gods and well gods) to pray for good harvest and good luck. According to ancient records, La Worship is "the year of December, and it is also a place where everything gathers." Because it is held in December, it is called the twelfth lunar month, and La Worship is called the twelfth lunar month. Later, Buddhism was introduced, and in order to expand its local influence, traditional culture was attached to Laba Festival as the Buddha's enlightenment day. Later, with the prevalence of Buddhism, the Buddha's enlightenment day merged with the twelfth day, which was called the "magic weapon festival" in Buddhism.
